Features

3D gameplay

This title is the first handheld main series Pokémon title to render battles and overworld objects fully in 3D, as opposed to the former sprite-based engines. Battles now have even more animation, including attack movement and reactions to attacks. Player maneuverability now allows eight-directional movement and the camera angle changes when the player turns, at least in Lumiose City.

Region

The games are set in the Kalos region. a region designed after France, with an Eiffel Tower-like structure found at the center of Lumiose City. Star-like in shape, it features many landmarks reminiscent of France and possibly other realworld locations.

Fairy is now the only major weakness for Dark/Ghost Types like Spiritomb.

Mega Evolutions have been introduced, allowing a Pokémon to temporarily evolve into a more powerful form, giving some a new typing, new abilities and a boost in certain stats. Mega Evolution is achieved by giving the Pokémon a Mega Stone and with an unknown requirement. The transformation only lasts for a single battle before the Pokémon reverts to its previous form. Not every Pokémon can achieve Mega Evolution and Kalos Pokémon will not be able to Mega Evolve.

A new mechanic called Pokémon-Amie involves a trainer/Pokémon bond. Strengthening the bond through petting, feeding and playing with the Pokémon by copying its movements will increase the Pokémon's friendship and power in battle. A low friendship will cause adverse effects, such as the Pokémon acting negatively towards the Trainer.

Sky Battles have been added, allowing flying and levitating Pokémon to battle each other in the sky. This feature is optional, but seems to give large amounts of money for winning the battle.

Horde encounters have been added. These battle involve the player's Pokémon going up against five other Pokémon. Multiple hit moves, like Rock Slide, are important in horde encounters.

The Player Search System (PSS) was introduced, allowing players to connect to people near them or halfway across the world through the internet. Tapping on the encountered player's icon will allow you to trade with or battle them.

Other Pokémon can be ridden, such as Rhyhorn, allowing the player to clear obstacles the player wouldn't normally be able to clear.

Rollerskates can be used in some capacity as a form of transportation and allow gridless movement.

The reveal of Parabolic Charge shows that the character limit for move names has been removed.

Players can sit on benches, unlike previous generations.

Characters

The Player Search System showing how customizable characters are.

Friends

The player starts their journey with three friends in Vaniville Town. Shauna is the girl and has pigtails, a pink outfit, a bag, and a wristband of some sort. Shauna appears to be the girl seen following the player in older images. The other two are Tierno who is a larger person with a Vanillite on his shirt who has a passion for dancing and looks to incorporate moves into his repertoire and Trevor who is a good student.

Rival

The gender of the rival encountered in the game depends on the gender of the player, the player encounters Serena if you're playing as the boy, or Callum if you are playing as a girl.
